00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:09.205
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Welcome, um, to the Living the Dream podcast with Curveball. Uh, if you believe you can achieve, cheat.

00:00:19.065 --> 00:00:28.875
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Welcome to the Living the Dream with Curveball podcast, a show where I interview guests that teach, motivate, and inspire.

00:00:29.375 --> 00:00:49.527
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Today we are joined by mindset coach and clinical hypnotist. Uh, Hope I said that right. But Craig Meriwether. And what Craig focuses on is helping people reach their full potential by eliminating negative thoughts and traumas and emotions.

00:00:49.670 --> 00:00:57.465
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>So we're going to be talking to him about everything he's up to and how he helps people. So, Craig, thank you so much for joining me today.

00:00:57.765 --> 00:01:00.604
> Craig Meriwether>Hey, Curtis, thank you so much for inviting me onto your show.

00:01:00.645 --> 00:01:03.445
> Craig Meriwether>It's been, uh, looking forward to talking with you.

00:01:03.604 --> 00:01:06.784
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Why don't you start off by telling everybody a little bit about yourself?

00:01:07.444 --> 00:01:10.144
> Craig Meriwether>Sure. I'm a clinical hypnotherapist.

00:01:10.525 --> 00:01:47.596
> Craig Meriwether>And what that means is we're using. It's not really talk therapy, but we're using not the conscious mind, but that unconscious part of mind, that subconscious part of mind to help with the healing. Now, this can be emotional, um, healing. Maybe there's a mindset issue, limiting beliefs, lack of confidence. Maybe there's even physical, uh, issues going on. And what's fascinating about this is we know mind will heal the body. This is the placebo effect. If there's any sort of research going on.

00:01:47.620 --> 00:02:13.485
> Craig Meriwether>Let's say a pharmaceutical company is doing research on a heart medication or low blood pressure medication or something. They want to get that out on the market there. They have to do, uh, research and see how it works. And half the group is going to get the placebo, which is just a sugar pill. And the reason why they do that is because they know mind will heal the body. They actually have to account for that in their research.

00:02:13.865 --> 00:02:39.146
> Craig Meriwether>So half the group is going to get the sugar pill. They're going to trick them into healing themselves, uh, all on their own. The other group is going to get the actual medication. And so let's say in this research example, 30% of the people in, uh, getting the sugar pill get better. They live. They have literally healed themselves. They got tricked into it, but they're healing themselves. Let's say 40% get better with the real medication.

00:02:39.211 --> 00:03:33.139
> Craig Meriwether>Well, the researchers now have to subtract 30% because maybe they also healed themselves through mind. The, uh, medication had nothing to do with it. So really only 10% got better on the medication. That's good enough. And they'll put it on the market at, you know, $70 a pill. But what no one really kind of takes a long look at is. Yeah, but more people actually heal themselves through mind healing themselves. Yeah, they got tricked into it. But really what hypnotherapy is, is using your ability to do that. Only we're going to do it on purpose. We're not going to trick you into doing it. We're going to do it on purpose. And it's really all about your attention. Some people may know about hypnotherapy out there or hypnosis. Maybe they've, you know, seen movies or TV shows or, you know, may, may been to one of those shows at a comedy club or a, uh, Las Vegas show, a hypnotist show.

00:03:33.266 --> 00:03:42.128
> Craig Meriwether>And people are up on stage doing funny things, you know, singing like Elvis Presley and dancing like Michael Jackson and barking like dogs and quacking like ducks and all that kind of stuff.

00:03:42.306 --> 00:04:00.013
> Craig Meriwether>And what's fascinating about this is, uh, people get turned off by that. It's funny, I guess if you watching a video, you're at an actual show. But people get turned off by that because they say, oh, well, I don't want to be controlled. I don't want to have somebody making me do funny things while I'm under.

00:04:00.188 --> 00:04:08.806
> Craig Meriwether>And that's not what this is. That, that's all a show. In fact, everybody up on that stage volunteered to be up there. They want to do that.

00:04:08.830 --> 00:04:36.915
> Craig Meriwether>I personally don't want to do that. And maybe Curtis and probably most of your listeners don't want to do that. But there's people out there who think that's really fun. They get that adrenaline rush by being on stage and, and um, they're exhibitionists and they're extroverts and they want to get it up on, uh, stage and act funny and exhaling, have a funny video to put on Tick Tock or Instagram or wherever. And so their intention is to have fun and look at them at the end of the show. They have a big smile on their face. They had a great time.

00:04:37.584 --> 00:04:40.552
> Craig Meriwether>So what if your intention is to heal, though?

00:04:40.689 --> 00:04:55.225
> Craig Meriwether>This isn't about controlling people, but giving back control. And in a sense, really a lot of people already hypnotized, especially if they're dealing with a lot of anxiety or dealing with anger or worry or overwhelm or fear, you know.

00:04:55.264 --> 00:05:08.615
> Craig Meriwether>You know, some people may have fear of deep water, even though they live in the mountains of Colorado. You know, they have deep fear of the ocean water. And it's like, well, we're already hypnotized, even though you may never even Seen the ocean.

00:05:09.235 --> 00:05:27.615
> Craig Meriwether>And so there's a hypnotism that we all kind of walk through with life. And uh, we find ourselves walking into work and all of a sudden feeling anxious and worried and upset just because we've kind of hypnotized ourselves to feel that way when associated with work. Or.

00:05:28.235 --> 00:05:59.595
> Craig Meriwether>I know people who are the most peaceful, most gentle, wonderful people, but you get them behind the wheel of a car on uh, a busy highway, and the uh, rage or the anger that comes out of them because they've hypnotized themselves to literally change their personality while behind the wheel of a car in a certain environment of uh, in certain circumstances. So in a lot of sense, we, we hypnotize ourselves just to move through life. And really what a lot of this work is, is dehypnotizing people.

00:06:00.014 --> 00:06:47.685
> Craig Meriwether>Because you're coming to me because I. There's an issue in life that is may maybe automatic, like that anxiety or that anger, maybe even that physical pain. I've worked with people who have, you know, chronic pain for decades and the doctors can't figure it out. There's MRIs and X rays and, and physical therapists, and nobody can figure out this pain. And yet it's associated with maybe some sort of childhood trauma that they don't remember that's manifesting as, as physical pain in the lower back or the hip or the neck or wherever. Uh, and so it's. It's amazing what the mind can do. It can hurt us in certain ways in terms of creating loss of anxiety or anger or even physical pain.

00:06:48.064 --> 00:07:21.523
> Craig Meriwether>But since you are in control of that, yeah, you've kind of turned it over to the automatic part of your mind. But by getting control of it again, you can change those instructions and heal those old wounds, even if you don't know what they are. Because again, this isn't talk therapy. We're not going to sit for, you know, 80, 90, 100 sessions over two years to talk about the issues only to have you feeling the same way because you're not really talking about the real issue, the core issue, because you don't remember what it is or you even know what it is.

00:07:21.699 --> 00:07:42.084
> Craig Meriwether>So what hypnotherapy does is kind of bypass that conscious level of mind just through some simple relaxation. There's no, again, no zombifying anybody, uh, into some sort of deep trance state to control them. That's not. That's the movies. Uh, that's fiction.

00:07:42.625 --> 00:08:56.815
> Craig Meriwether>What we do is just through some deep relaxation. And oftentimes we're Having conversations. So you're kind of awake, sort of in a daydreamy state. And by doing that, you kind of quiet down that conscious level of mind, that analytical, logical mind, that kind of little itty bitty committee in your head that's constantly talking to you. Quiet that down. And so you can access that kind of computer code in your subconscious mind that's creating that anxiety or that anger. And, and you're allowed to change it. You're. You're the one who created it in the first place. And not to say it was your fault, a lot of that stuff happens through a very traumatic event in life, maybe even when you were a child. That's not to blame the child or blame you. Whatever age it was, say it was your fault. But if you're the one who installed the instructions on how to react to danger in your life, even as a child, if you're the one who did that unconsciously, certainly, and through a traumatic experience. But if you're the one who did that, that means you can change it and do something else. It's under your control. And so really what this work is of hypnotherapy is just, uh, giving you back control, de. Hypnotizing you, and, uh, you know, helping you create your best life.

00:08:58.595 --> 00:09:03.274
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>So what is the difference between hypnotherapy and meditation?

00:09:03.434 --> 00:09:28.691
> Craig Meriwether>Meditation, while the feeling state may be similar, and even if you, like, hook people up to a brainwave scan and, um, watch the brain, it may even look similar, the difference is in meditation, you often want those thoughts to move across the sky like clouds in the sky.

00:09:28.883 --> 00:09:37.294
> Craig Meriwether>It's always bringing your attention back to your breath. Or maybe if you're doing transcendental meditation, you're having a mantra that you repeat over and over again.

00:09:38.715 --> 00:10:07.875
> Craig Meriwether>The difference between just meditation, uh, more of like the Buddhist style, is that you're wanting to rid the thoughts from your head, moving back into a state of presence, of mindfulness, of the now, of, of, uh, what's happening now. With hypnotherapy, while the feeling state may be the same, the relaxation state may be the same. We actually want to use your imagination.

00:10:08.465 --> 00:10:13.845
> Craig Meriwether>We want to use your thoughts. A lot of people say, well, I can't be hypnotized because I have a overactive imagination.

00:10:14.585 --> 00:10:25.485
> Craig Meriwether>And it's like, oh, great, you actually may be better at this than a lot of people. Everybody can do this work because again, like I say, you're kind of hypnotizing yourself anyway most days.

00:10:25.860 --> 00:10:46.304
> Craig Meriwether>Um, or if you've ever had that Experience, maybe going to a meeting at work or if you remember high school math class or whatever class it may have been for you, and it's boring and you just start staring out the window thinking about the weekend and how much fun it's going to be hanging out with your friends. You go into that daydreaming state, you start thinking about the future or maybe thinking, remembering the past.

00:10:46.759 --> 00:12:20.184
> Craig Meriwether>Uh, that's the state of hypnosis. That's it. That's all you got to do. And if you can play pretend and if you can use your imagination, if you can think of the future and you can remember things in the past, then you can do this work. There's again, there's no, so there's no like voodoo zombifying of people, uh, to control them, to you know, make Jason Bourne assassinate, uh, the prime minister. There's, there's ah, this is all about healing and all about the work of changing the kind of instructions that have already been installed by you. Again, maybe unconsciously and through duress or through trauma, but through you. And so with meditation, that's a really wonderful process or exercise to of course lower blood pressure, makes you feel better, help you focus. Uh, in the now tons, uh, of research showing how helpful that process is. But a lot of people don't find it very useful because their minds are so active. And whether you're a great meditator or you're a terrible meditator and doesn't really work for you, hypnotherapy will work because either way you're going to be a good candidate for it. Because again, we're just using your mind and to whatever level you want to go to. In, in the state of hypnosis, the state of trance, this meditative like state is, is the right state to go to because again, your subconscious mind's under, uh, is, is in control. Not me or not any other kind of hypnotherapist, that you're in control of it.

00:12:20.565 --> 00:12:46.294
> Craig Meriwether>And that's the thing. It's like you can't make somebody just go into hypnosis. I know there's those videos on YouTube and wherever, Tik Tok and Instagram, probably people on the street doing street hypnosis and they walk up to somebody and just yell at them and very loudly sleep and they fall over and they, they get them to, I don't know, do dumb stuff that's all fake, that's all a setup. They know each other. They practiced that before they went out onto the street.

00:12:46.674 --> 00:12:55.360
> Craig Meriwether>And so you can't do that to people. I, I can't walk. I can't go to the mall and just walk up to people and yell sleep. They'll run away and call the cops on me.

00:12:55.513 --> 00:13:33.530
> Craig Meriwether>You know, that, that, that's a stress response that I'm going to put them in. If just walking up to strangers and yelling sleep at them and snapping my fingers or waving my hands around or whatever, then that's kind of weird and frightening. So that's all a setup, if you've seen videos like that. So, you know, really, this is work that all people can do. I know there's people that don't find meditation very, uh, helpful for them, uh, just because their, their minds can be so active. And, and I've, I've read the books where you say, yeah, I mean, if you practice and practice, maybe in 10 years you really start getting it going. It's like 10 years now. Let's do this work now.

00:13:33.722 --> 00:13:54.349
> Craig Meriwether>And that's what's fascinating about hypnotherapy. Again, I'm not fixing anybody. And hypnotherapy in and of itself is not going to fix anybody. You're going to fix yourself. Because one who, who better to know what the problem is than you? Even if it's in that unconscious part of mind, you know what it is, because it's in there. Maybe not consciously conscious mind makes up 5% of mind.

00:13:54.517 --> 00:14:31.524
> Craig Meriwether>The unconscious mind, that subconscious part of mind makes up 95% of mind. And if that's where all the hurt and the pain and the wounding is held, you know, for protection, it's your subconscious mind is for you, it's not against you. It, uh, may not seem like that sometimes, but your subconscious mind is for you, but it's for your safety, it's for your protection, it's for your survival, which may not necessarily mean your happiness and your success, but it's for your survival. And it's using what you've gone through in the past as guideposts on how to keep you safe.

00:14:32.184 --> 00:14:49.144
> Craig Meriwether>And so the warning signals of anxiety and anger and overwhelm and worry and fear are what's your mind trying to get your attention through the feeling states in your body. And of course, if you don't pay attention to it, it's just going to turn up the volume on it.

00:14:49.445 --> 00:15:36.321
> Craig Meriwether>And not unlike maybe a fire alarm in a building, but in terms of, again, going back to meditation, meditation is used as a, just a way to focus you in the present moment. Because a lot of fear happens when we Try to think of the future sometimes, or a lot of pain happens when we remember the past. So you want to bring your attention to the present moment and to this breath and now, to this breath or to this mantra or this, to this of, um, feeling state in your body. And then just let it go to the next moment when hypnotherapy while again, using maybe the same kind of relaxed state of mind and body. We're there to heal.

00:15:36.432 --> 00:16:36.767
> Craig Meriwether>And that may involve talking, it may involve, um, using your imagination. It may involve even pretending. Because what's fascinating about the mind is the mind can't tell the difference between what's real and what's imagined. And so this is most noticeable, let's say, in a nightmare. And no matter how crazy or how ridiculous or how stupid the nightmare may be, let's say a gigantic cheeseburger and his two hot dog friends are chasing down the street, throwing coconuts at you. It's stupid. It's not going to happen ever. And your mind can't tell the difference. And while in deep sleep, it'll turn on the stress response because it thinks that you are under attack. And, uh, it's a lot of effort for the mind and brain to turn on the stress response, starts creating that adrenaline and cortisol in your brain, dumping that into your bloodstream. And you, uh, Curtis, probably your listeners, you've heard those crazy stories of grandmothers lifting cars off of babies and things like that. That's adrenaline doing that. That's how dumping into your bloodstream.

00:16:36.831 --> 00:17:02.610
> Craig Meriwether>300% more blood's moving to the big muscles of your arms to fight your way out of this dangerous situation. 300% more blood moving to big muscles, your legs, to escape. It's got to come from somewhere. So your body's now turning down the power on your immune system. That's why people get sick when they're stressed, uh, in chronic stress, as turning down the volume on your digestive system. That's why people get irritable bowel syndrome, ibs, when they're stressed for long periods of time.

00:17:02.802 --> 00:17:47.104
> Craig Meriwether>And this is all happening while you're asleep because of cheeseburgers chasing down the street. So what's happening in your waking world, you know, and so we use that to our advantage, right? So we know thought, no matter how ridiculous that thought may be, a cheeseburger chasing down the street, a thought can change your physiology. So we use that to our advantage. We use the fact that, like the placebo effect, your mind can heal the body, change how you feel in, in in your body. So we use that to our advantage. So we're really one not doing anything different than what you're already doing in life. Mostly unconsciously and automatically like turning on the stress response.

00:17:48.564 --> 00:18:27.035
> Craig Meriwether>And we're also not taking control away from you, but giving you back control. Because in a sense if you're getting upset because a cheeseburger is chasing down the street, you're already out of control. So we're going to give you back control. So this is really a way of just returning to who you really are, stripping away that anxiety and the stress and overwhelmed that maybe the hurt and pain you've been carrying maybe for decades and allowing you to return to who you truly are. Just kind of, kind of cleaning away like that, like a dirty window. The view is always there, know, just wash the window. So um, that's what we're doing.

00:18:28.575 --> 00:18:34.434
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Well, what are some of the ways people can use hypnotherapy in their lives?

00:18:36.134 --> 00:18:49.565
> Craig Meriwether>I have worked. Example, a few months ago I worked with a nine year old kid who had been struggling with chronic nightmares every night for two years.

00:18:49.734 --> 00:19:04.365
> Craig Meriwether>Been to all the counselors, all, uh, the talk therapists, uh, he made the doctors just to make sure there's no kind of brain issue going on. Chronic nightmares. For two years I worked with him for 45 minutes and he never had a nightmare again.

00:19:05.065 --> 00:19:40.411
> Craig Meriwether>I, uh, worked with a 77 year old woman recently who only just told me she's dealing with chronic anxiety since she was 19. You know, I have people fill out an intake form uh, before they do a session and we do sessions over zoom. Most of my sessions are over zoom now. So I work with people around the country, around the world. And um, you know, some people write seven, eight detailed paragraphs which is wonderful. And we'll work on what they want to work on. Other people maybe just write one word, anxiety. And that's what this 77 year old woman.

00:19:40.603 --> 00:20:13.005
> Craig Meriwether>Oh, uh, wrote, uh, was this anxiety? And we talked on the phone and, and that's all she talked about. So it's this anxiety I've been dealing with. Dealing with. And so when we were on the session, a zoom session, I just asked her, okay, just to get some little more information. How long has this been going on? A couple, couple months, A couple years. She said since she was 19. This is a 77 year old woman who's been in chronic anxiety since she's 19. I did not ask what happened at 19. She did not offer that information. But that's what we work on because she knows what that means.

00:20:13.464 --> 00:20:59.775
> Craig Meriwether>And I worked with her two, three times and she rid herself. It ended up being something that actually started off with the abuse she, uh, dealt with when she was a child, like around 8 years old. So she'd been carrying this stuff for like 70 years and she just got tired of it. So really, hypnotherapy can work with pretty much whatever, anything. This is not alternative medicine. This isn't instead of, you know, always go to your doctor, but we can be a part of that process if someone's having surgery. Um, hypnotherapy is shown to lower anxiety rates by 56% and so heart rates are lowered. Blood, um, blood pressure is lower. People get out of the hospital sooner after if they've had hypnotherapy beforehand.

00:20:59.894 --> 00:21:21.765
> Craig Meriwether>This works with athletes. Um, you know, I just worked literally, uh, uh, last week with a professional basketball player in Iceland, you know, and it's just like things on confidence or things, uh, you know, I've worked with um, uh, someone who's uh, doing gymnastics and she had like tumbled wrong and like injured herself. And then she, she liked her.

00:21:21.845 --> 00:21:24.701
> Craig Meriwether>She lost her confidence in doing that move.

00:21:24.893 --> 00:21:27.563
> Craig Meriwether>And so she had confidence. Now she doesn't have confidence.

00:21:27.749 --> 00:21:58.244
> Craig Meriwether>So let's bring back the confidence. So whether you're an athlete, you're a professional, um, entrepreneur who uh, wants to feel more confident giving speeches, somebody who's in physical pain, somebody, uh, who needs to go get dental work done but is allergic to the lidocaine or Novocaine, you can teach yourself how to do dental work without any, um, novocaine root, uh, canals. You watch YouTube videos of people doing this. It really just works.

00:21:58.944 --> 00:23:06.595
> Craig Meriwether>You know, honestly, this is the one business that may be for everyone. And whatever you're doing with, and you still see your talk therapist, still see your, your doctors, but it can be part of the team, you know. And so it really works with anything whether you're dealing with early childhood trauma or you're dealing with, um, you know, lack of confidence issues. You're, you know, I'm a M9 year old dealing with, uh, you know, nightmare issues. It, uh, pretty much works with, with a lot of different things. And I've worked with all sorts of different people in different situations. You know, veterans with post traumatic stress disorder, you know, students dealing with test anxiety of, uh, you know, athletes just working with peak performance and confidence, just, you know, and anyone who just maybe dealing with fears in their life overwhelm anxiety of uh, you know, early childhood trauma. I said that helping cancer patients with Pain control, um, all sorts of stuff. It works pretty much with everything because it's your mind that we're dealing with and that pretty much controls everything.

00:23:08.454 --> 00:23:14.345
> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>Well, tell us about any upcoming projects that you're working on that, that people need to be aware of.

00:23:14.765 --> 00:25:01.214
> Craig Meriwether>Yeah, I just actually finished one. Speaking of, since I just me mentioned students with test anxiety, I just finished a, A, uh, course on test anxiety. It's called Ace Any test. And not just, you know, a lot of people think of test anxiety and think of maybe high school students taking, uh, final exams in math class or history class or something. But you know, of course there's university students, but there's, you know, the, the 22 year old who wants to get into law school needs to take the lsat or the medical student who needs to take the MCAS to get into medical school or the law graduate now has to take the bar exam. Or plumbers, electricians, uh, firefighters, uh, everybody, you know, people in the military, if they want to, uh, move up in rank, have to take tests. Uh, you know, a 65 year old who wants to, who's bored in retirement and wants to start a career as a real estate agent has to take the real estate agent exam. And maybe they haven't taken a test. And you know, 55 years. Um, this is for anybody who might have to take a test or if you're a musician or an actor doing an audition or uh, you know, needing to do public speaking, it's a great course. That's why I just finished recently Ace Any test. And with, um, you know, in terms of, if you want more information about doing hypnotherapy, uh, my name is Craig Merriweather. I, I live in Flagstaff, Arizona though I, like I mentioned before, I work with people around the country, around the world. Zoom Sessions works really well because people feel comfortable, relaxed in their homes. They feel safe in their homes. So it works really, really well. And the name of my, my practice is Arizona Integrative Hypnotherapy, which I know is a mouthful, but if you just go to Google and search for Flagstaff hypnosis, you'll see me come up.

> Curtis Jackson (also known as DJ Curveball)>There you go. You just answered my next question about throwing out your contact info. So close us out with any final thoughts. Maybe if that was something I forgot to talk about, that you would like to touch on any final thoughts you have for the listeners.

00:25:19.113 --> 00:26:07.696
> Craig Meriwether>Yeah, just real quick. Um, you know what I like to tell people is you have the ability to change. You're changing all the time anyway, but you are allowed to change on purpose and become the person you want to be. A lot of it comes down to what you are practicing, because what you do over and over again is what's strongest within your mind. What you practice, you get better at. So this goes along with if you're learning how to play the guitar or the saxophone or the piano, or you're learning dance or you're learning martial arts, uh, you know, a little kid learning to walk, a child learning to ride a bicycle. What you practice, you get better at. So what if you're practicing anxiety? What if you're practicing anger? What if you're practicing, um, fear? You're just gonna get better and better at it. So it's time to, you know, when you're ready, it's time to change.

00:26:07.760 --> 00:26:30.214
> Craig Meriwether>Those that coding, that, uh, subconscious coding and become the person you want to be. It's gone. Anyone then just practice being that person. It's, um, it really doesn't have to be that difficult. It can be kind of easy and kind of that simple. Uh, it's just what you practice, you get better at. So if you're not happy with where you are, it's time to start practicing something else.
